I had the opportunity to attend the launch of this report on digital technology and health at #UNGA80. One take away is that we need to support parents as co-navigators of technology. My lab is hard at work developing interventions in this space. Stay tuned for updates in 2026!

For the first time, the world has a global lens on digital childhood. Launched at the Sync Summit during #UNGA80, Lives Lived Online: Gen Alpha and Families in the Digital Age—the Global Gen Alpha Digital Wellbeing Report spanning 42 countries—is the first of its kind to capture how a generation is growing up in a world shaped by adult content, AI, and jobs that don’t yet exist. This landmark report is reshaping how the world understands Gen Alpha, their wellbeing, and their digital future. This milestone would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of: • Deputy Karen Wilson • Dr. Michael Rich • Prof. Andrew Przybylski • Dr. Yuhyun Park • Dr. Mohammed Alhajji • Prof. Ahmed Al Khateeb • Dr. Antje von Suchodoletz • Dr. Haifa Alroqi • Dr. Alia Al Serkal • Dr. Rania Abdelhamid • Mwasi Wilmore Full report in bio. #SyncIthra #UNGA25 لأوّل مرة، يسلط العالم عدسته على مرحلة الطفولة الرقمية. أُطلق تقرير الحياة على الإنترنت: الجيل ألفا والعائلات في العصر الرقمي، خلال قمة سينك المقامة ضمن أعمال الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة #UNGA80. هذا التقرير العالمي حول الاتزان الرقمي للجيل ألفا، والذي يغطي 42 دولة، يُعد الأول من نوعه في رصد كيفية نشأة جيلٍ جديد داخل عالم يتشكل بفعل المحتوى الموجَّه للبالغين، والذكاء الاصطناعي، ووظائف لم تظهر بعد. إنه تقرير محوري يُعيد صياغة فهم العالم للجيل ألفا، لاتزانهم، ولمستقبلهم الرقمي. ولم يكن هذا الإنجاز ليكون ممكنًا دون الإسهامات القيّمة من: • النائبة كارين ويلسون • د. مايكل ريتش • البروفيسور أندرو برزيبيلسكي • د. يويهيون بارك • د. محمد الحاجي • البروفيسور أحمد الخطيب • د. أنتيه فون سوشودولِتس • د. هيفاء الروقي • د. علياء السركال • د. رانيا عبد الحميد • مواسي ويلمور 📎 التقرير الكامل في البايو #UNGA25
